I've used Tri X with Xtol with my M6 over the past year or two and have switched of late to Delta; wanting an even sharper clearer negative and print. And I'm from Portland and am a big fan of Richard P. Feynman. Which is why I sometimes roll my metal tank along the top of my sink while developing for agitation. I feel like my film wants that and Feynman would agree. No bongo's though! And I put a piece of masking tape on the lid so it doesn't fly off while rolling. Shame they took the darkrooms out of Portland State! Mark Rabiner NW Portland
